TIPS AND TRICKS

HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR HOST HAS FRONTPAGE EXTENSIONS INSTALLED. Launch your browser and type in http://www.yoursite.com/_vti_inf.html (Insert your site address where it says yoursite) If that page comes up, the server extensions are installed. You can do a View | Source on the page to see which version is running. TIP BY: Kathleen Anderson Spider Web Woman Designs http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/resources/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CANNOT SEE CSS RESULTS IN PREVIEW PANE. When using cascading style sheets that are defined in a separate .css file and linked into an HTML file, FP will ignore it in the 'Preview Pane'. In 'Normal View and when viewing the page in any browser, all is fine. This behavior is due to the latest IE6 Security Download. Uninstalling the Security Download is the only fix so far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ↑ Top

MAIN ARTICLE FATHERS DAY THEME WEBSITE By Deborah Miller http://www.themesindesign.com Father's Day will soon be here. Still looking for a perfect gift for dad? How about his very own web site? With the many unique template and theme designs offered by many talented artists, creating a site for dad can be easy. All that is required from you is doing some research on your dads past and current life then adding it to the pages in the web template. For an interesting effect, you can have several pages update themselves with pictures and text. This can be accomplished by using one of the components in FrontPage. Here is what you need to do: Gather information and pictures of different events in your dad's life. For Example, when he was a young boy, when he graduated, when he met your mother, when they got married, etc. Sort out the information according to dates. Try to get several pictures of these different events. Write down dates, times and places. Now let's say you have several pictures of your dad as a young boy. Scan the pictures and optimize them for faster loading. Write a short story about each picture. Create a New Web in FrontPage using a web template that you brought or start from scratch. Create your pages according to the different topics you are going to write about regarding your dad. For example you could have: 1. Home Page 2. About Dad 3. Dad Growing Up 4. Dad and Mom 5. Dad, Mom and Kids 6. Dad's Hobbies Now create 2 NEW folders and name them "Include Pages" & "Include Pictures". These folders can be used to store all your extra pictures and text pages. Start with a new page and write short stories about different events in your dad's life and save these pages in the folder called "Include Pages". You can also add pictures on these pages. Import your pictures and save them in the "Include Pictures" folders. Starting on the topic of your choice, design the page with pictures and a matching story. Now, using the "Scheduling Feature" in FrontPage, you can have the pictures and stories change monthly or weekly in different areas of your page. By using tables you can define different sections of your page to update differently. Create your tables and make notes to yourself where and what you want to add pictures, text or have a certain area update. On the toolbar in FrontPage go to "Insert - Component - Scheduled Picture. Browse to the picture you want to appear. Set the starting time and ending time for this picture. Keep doing this for different areas on your pages. In a different area on your page you can use the "Scheduled Include Page" to appear on a certain date. For example, how about the day you were born? Design an include page with your baby picture and story, and then set the date for it to appear on your birthday. Does this sound confusing? Let's take another look at using the "Scheduling Feature" Take a blank piece of page and fold it in half and then fold it in half again. Now, open up the page and you will have four sections. Draw a line down the middle and across the center to give you four sections. Pretend it is a page on your Dad's web site. In one section you can have a picture and have that picture change on a certain date. On a different section you can have a story and then have the story change on a different date. You still have two more sections. You can leave them blank, merge it together to make a bigger area, or add pictures or text that you don't want to change. You can also use these areas to schedule more pictures or text to update by it's self. To help you with creating a web site for your father I'm going to offer a free Father's Day Web Template. You may use this template to create a web site for your dad to wish him a Happy Fathers Day. This will be available from the time you read your newsletter to the end of June. Enjoy and happy creating.
